How do the santa ana winds affect the weather

2 answers:

8 0

The high pressure in the Great Basin forces it way toward the lower pressure on the coast usually during the winter months. As the air sinks, it heats up, loses moisture, and increases in speed as it forces its way through the canyons. So, hot intense winds are the result. This also contributes to the forest fires in the area.

ANSWER:

The Santa Ana Winds originate from cool and dry air pressure mass in Great Britain and are therefore dry winds that affect South California and parts of North California.

EXPLANATION:

Santa Ana Winds bring hot and dry weather during autumn. These winds also create relative low humidity in Southern California.

When these low humidity conditions combine with warm air and high wind speeds are known to create critical fire weather conditions.

These winds are also called devil winds because they often give rise to regional wildfires.

A radiation fog is most likely to develop when:_________

dangina [55]

Answer:

c. the sky is clear.

Explanation:

The radiation fog is formed when the land surface cools after the sunset in the conditions of the clear sky. Thus the cooling ground cools the air above it and as a result of this the conduction causes the air temperature to fall and hence it reaches the dew point and forms a fog.

EXPLAIN HOW METAMORPHISM CAN ALTER A ROCK CHEMICALLY AS OPPOSED TO MINEROLOGICALLLY.

Orlov [11]

Answer:

The rocks are comprised of cracks and fractures in between the sediments and mineral grains that have the capacity to store fluid in them. This fluid is generally the water that contains various types of dissolved ions. These fluids in the rocks are very much important because the chemical reactions that take place include the change in mineral from one type to another new type. This can highly increase the amount of dissolved ions that are dissolved and transported by the water. This alteration of rock that occurs chemically due to these fluid refers to the process which is commonly known as the metasomatism. Whereas, the rock alters mineralogically due to the increasing temperature and pressure condition, that changes the grade of rocks.

This is how metamorphism alters the rock chemically in comparison to mineralogically.
